Man dies after being pinned under car in Westford

WESTFORD -- A man died after he became pinned underneath a car on Littleton Road on Tuesday night, according to police.

The 52-year-old Chelmsford man was taken by ambulance to Lowell General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Officials have not released his identity.

First-responders performed CPR at the scene after pulling the man out from under the vehicle. He was on the ground working on the vehicle and was somehow pinned underneath the car, according to the Middlesex District Attorney's Office.

Witnesses and police and fire responders were able to pull him out.

The incident occurred just after 8 p.m. at 160 Littleton Road. The address is home to a large shopping plaza.

Westford Police Capt. Victor Neal said a preliminary investigation shows the death was accidental. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office will investigate further.

Because the man's death was accidental, the DA will not release his identity.
